Limitation

Slave to the Cheese: If you capture or non-lethally defeat any named Cop or Buro characters, you are 100% unable to simply kill them, and must do everything in your power to prevent anyone else from doing so. Killing them out of hand is too easy, too quick. You must toy with your prey by putting them in elaborate death-traps, or by offering them some desperate (but psychotically "fair") gamble with which to win their life and freedom. Furthermore, you cannot resist gloating to captured foes. You desperately need to tell them your plans in order to rub it in.

Schticks

Signature Weapon: Dead Daddy's Glock 18

Hair-Trigger Neck Hairs

Eyes of the Snake: Chi 2, Shot 1, the shot cost of all attack against you increase by 1 until the end of the sequence.

Mook Magnet: You have an almost eerie ability to discover, recruit and command the weak-willed and thuggish. In order to use your Mook Magnet schtick, you must fulfill three conditions: (1) You must be in an urban setting. (2) You must have some sort of incentive to offer your lackeys. (3) You must spend a full day cruising the places where mooks gather. When you've fulfilled those conditions, make an open roll and add one; the result is the number of mooks you've attracted. These mooks will serve for 2-3 days without a reward before they get bored and disillusioned. If they get what was promised (and don't get wiped out) they'll stick around as long as the goodies continue to flow. Any mooks who survive three combats in your employment become "battle hardened." They don't gain any skill bonuses right away, but they do become named characters (you can pick names for them). Now they don't evaporate in firefights and can get experience points if you let them attune to one of your feng shui sites. (They cannot gain experience any other way.)

Background

Iliana Button is the bastard daughter of Carl Elias, the last heir to the long-lasting criminal empire of the Elias family. The family traces its root all the way back to 69, and was still active in 2056. Too bad Daddy and his son decided to have her Mom killed, so she ended up killing him in revenge and took his treasured antique Glock from him (he's old-fashioned). However, her revenge was not over. Now the de facto leader of the criminal empire, she found that her half-brother was sent to an academy in the Netherworld. Enrolled into the academy, absorbing students into her crime syndicate by helping them with coursework and promising to restore "the old way", she will finish what her Daddy had started.
